What it does

App Store Changelog is an agent skill from harperreed/dotfiles. Create user-facing App Store release notes by collecting and summarizing all user-impacting changes since the last git tag (or a specified ref). Use when asked to generate a comprehensive release changelog, App Store "What's New" text, or release notes based on git history or tags.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/release-notes-guidelines.md` and `scripts/collect_release_changes.sh`).

It sits in Development, covering App store release, Changelog and release notes and Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Dotfiles. Managed by YADM.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to generate a comprehensive release changelog
  • App Store Whats New text
  • Release notes based on git history

Example prompts

  • “/app-store-changelog”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Collect changes
  2. Triage for user impact
  3. Draft App Store notes
  4. Validate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b78c10e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

App Store Changelog loads about 465 tokens when it runs, and up to ~877 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 207 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~465
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~877

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 207 words (~465 tokens).

“Generate a comprehensive, user-facing changelog from git history since the last tag, then translate commits into clear App Store release notes.”
